Any parent knows that toy/stuffy/blanket that their kid is attached to. Unfortunately, after working hard to provide, we have reached a point where are kids are pretty spoiled, especially with all the new gadgets and stuff they have now that they didn't have when we were kids. Well, that in turn has resulted in them …
Security Features
We knew when we got into this whole parenting thing that there would be challenges. Midnight feedings, teething, the very messy yet necessary potty training, these are all things that we knew to expect. We even had a pretty decent go of baby proofing during round one. I think the only major casualty was an …
What Hu-Mus
We are two weeks into this pandemic, and like many parents...we are ready to build our own escape room. It would be stocked with beer, and a life time supply of that fancy buffalo/caramel popcorn mixture. Most importantly, it would have to be sound proof in hopes of actually getting some sleep. Yes, I know...I …
Oh the Horror!
Having a 5 year old and now a 1 year, it is inevitable that I will some how ruin their lives. Let's face it, no matter how good of a parent we try to be, certain things that we do have the power to throw the entire world sideways, like making the carrots too soft, …
Date Night
Date night is so much different with two little ones. We are visiting family and had a craving for yummy steak, so we decided that we would hit up our local steak house. What used to be a night of relaxed conversation over wine, now had a much different landscape. The first sign that we …
Poop Enthusiast
One thing I noticed is that we are not nearly as zombie like this time around, comparatively to when our first was born. When our little Wonder woman was born, we survived off of Starbucks and Swiss Chalet. I had the brilliant idea of taking full-time classes that semester, which resulted in me sitting in …
Embrace the Suck (Part 2)
Welcome back! To recap, we induced and went into labor. That was a horrible idea, because labor sucks, but we returned the hospital in full suck and were waiting for the good feeling medicine to help out. After waiting another hour and a bit, I was getting a little annoyed and regretting toughing it out …
Embrace the Suck! (Part 1)
So, I have received a few complaints regarding the tardiness of this blog. Although it has been three months, I do have a three month old at home distracting me, as well as school, thus the delay. I have also made a valiant attempt to rein in the swearing, but lets be honest...when it comes …
Why Should Things be Simple?
With the due date on the horizon, our back up was mobilized to ensure that our little one was covered while the new little one was delivered. My mother in law, who has not had the opportunity to visit our tiny town yet, was able to get a chunk of time off to come help. …
The Zombie Apocalypse
We are pretty big fans of shows in this house. The Walking Dead is a must have on the PVR and I am pretty certain my wife would love me until the end of time if I were to get her a samurai sword or cross bow for her birthday. You know...just in case. Now, …
